It’s all hidden in the table cloth. But Google Alfred Jari. Yann Frisch is Jari who fell into a time tunnel. His act is Jari philosophically, he looks like Jari. He’s got he 19th/early 20th century pain=humor thing going. Wow. Fascinating on many levels.

Well it’s fairly apparent that most of the schtick involves items behind the table, but he’s pretty good at moving things in and out of view seemlessly and in rapid succession. Pretty good act, i like the novel approach of the “crazy guy” illusion. It’s fairly cliche to see comedian or vegas magician… i like this guy [:

Better juggler than magician. Not that I could possibly do any of what he does, he’s clearly got top notch dexterity. Just needs to work on the misdirection. On first watch, you know exactly WHEN he drops or grabs just about every object (“ditch” or “load” if you’ve seen enough Penn and Teller specials). On second watch, you know roughly HOW he does it (minus, of course, knowing how to use your hands that precisely).

Much more impressive than that Dynamo guy (who seems to be the big thing in the UK at the moment). Dynamo’s whole act rely’s on editing and reaction shots. This guy makes multiple things disappear and reappear before your eyes in one continuous shot. Loved it!

Agree. There’s an awful lot going on under the table and a frame-by frame step does give some of it away but still clever, just the same. That’s the trouble with “magic” being videoed – it gives the game away quite often.

What’s amazing about this is not only the magic act itself, which yes you can figure out if you keep watching frame by frame, it’s also the compelling personality he’s created. Very well done. Haven’t seen his work before but will be looking for more of it. Thanks for posting this :)

Seriously, people are pointing out that there’s stuff going on below the table?? This is AMAZING!! It’s amazing partly BECAUSE he gives us a sense of how it’s probably happening. All the best magic gives you the feeling that you have the trick more-or-less sussed, except for just that wee hmm, not quite sure how he did THAT bit…, oh, I didn’t expect THAT!

Ditto. For me, at least half the act is this bizarre OCD-wracked oddball character; the weirdness is off the scale – yet somehow plausible, like I can almost picture this guy sitting in an asylum somewhere, carrying on in a similar fashion…

I think the purely technical criticisms are slightly beside the point; I for one am prepared to allow a performer to define their own genre.
